Virginia authorities say they’ve charged a man in connection with a three vehicle accident that involved a county sheriff’s cruiser.

The Stafford County Sheriff’s Office says in a statement that 57-year-old George Lee Murdock of Stafford has been charged with reckless driving and failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. The sheriff’s office says that on Thursday, a deputy was responding to an emergency call with his lights and siren activated when Murdock turned in front of the deputy’s cruiser.
